      • 2021-06-11 Tim and Huda had a meeting to discuss priorities and approach.  Main concerns were showing user reps advancement in features and . Tim working on mockups on redesign; will not implement – but will present to user reps to decide which options. Not prioritizing anything functional at-present. Will make sure pages work well when there is not enough data on the page. Will put prototype in position that we feel more comfortable when people play with it. Concerned that if show same thing at user reps, will be unproductive... but question whether anyone will remember. With more robust prototype, hope will yield more of a decision. Tim does not have much time to work on this (2.5-3 weeks) – aiming for user rep meeting in August
      • 2021-07-02 Huda and Tim discussed work to do on DASH before user reps meeting
      • 2021-07-09 Huda did not DASH this week but will DASH next week
      • 2021-07-15 No DASH work this week. Tim will work on mockups next week
      • 2021-07-30
        • Tim was working on additional mockups (author pages that look more like the original subject page). 
        • Updated dev branch in LD4P fork based on dev-folio branch in Cornell's Blacklight.
        • Huda has been working through issues for more granular control over the knowledge panel data coming from the Cornell subject and author browse indices and some styling.  Additionally, working on how too much info or none is handled in entity page (i.e. collapsing "see more" option for broader/narrower.  Will be working on not showing map or timeline if no information to display on page). 
        • Game plan: Review progress with Tim when he is back.  If ready to proceed, we will reach out to Adam regarding setting up a meeting with user reps.  Also need to work with Greg to update environment variables on LD4P3 web server (will check if that's something I can do right now).
  • BANG! (Bibliographic Aspects Newly GUI'd)
    • Jamboard link
    • Expect to include Works. Need to do something beyond what we already have live from the OCLC concordance data.
    • 2021-07-
  • 09
      • Beginning to form some kind of plan regarding explorations:(BANG! Data Analysis)
        • Working through a concrete example for LOC Hubs, ShareVDE Super works/Opuses
        • Wikidata properties around works: supplement what is visible/possible
        • Visualize or query ShareVDE PCC/Cornell (from a few years ago) relationships around different identifiers: ISBNs/LCCNs/OCLC Work IDs.  (Queries still show same numbers as before so may need to revisit)
        • Follow up regarding OCLC Entity Backbone new Work API
        • Collect user stories/related work around viewing works/instances (multiple related entities, including from different institutions): ShareVDE/ReShare work
      • Meeting with Jesse next Monday to go over Table of Contents sources
    • 2021-07-16
      • Huda has been looking at links between via works using LC Hub/Works (using Hamlet example)
      • Steven has looked at 6 examples of Hamlet via the OCLC concordance file using Wikidata which has 50-60 expressions. Also notes uniform titles in our catalog. 
      • Sense that we could add extra information from LC and from Wikidata
    • 2021-07-30
      • Huda worked more on DASH. 
      • Steven worked on lots of queries.
      • Huda did ask Dave if we could get the PCC ShareVDE dataset for local querying/visualization because Fuseki server doesn't come back quickly for more cross-dataset queries (e.g. provide all the work URIs related to other work URIs and the relationships between them).  Dave said he'd compress the (~122 GB!!) data.  Need to follow up and ask if that is done and to check if I have the space somewhere to put that data : )   These would be the normalized/cleaned up triples behind the Fuseki service. 
      • A few weeks ago, did reach out to Jesse and had a conversation regarding Table of Contents (TOC)/citations.  No open TOC source.  Syndetics has two different options: (a) an API for data that can be used for indexing but not for display and (b) information grabbed within the page to bring back information that could include Table of Contents.  Mentioned OpenCitations as a possible source for citation information.
